"I won't go to the tail cabin and the main engine compartment. The aft compartment is mainly a water tank, which adjusts the attitude of the submarine by adding or subtracting water. The main engine cabin, follow me in the future, you will inevitably drill into it. ”

Chen Ming and Li Siming walked through the boat. The sailors in the interval between training all ran to the boat to see the surprise. Nuclear is a thing that has been heard many times, but they have never seen it.

The narrow aisle made Chen Ming a little uncomfortable, but he heard Li Siming say that the interior of this boat was much larger than their previous "Kilo-class" 877 submarine.

As a result, the submarine left Chen Ming's first impression, that is, it was cramped.

"This is the kitchen, and most of the time we eat canned food on a long voyage. There are also some dehydrated vegetables. ”

Across the reactor bay, the two of them made their way to the galley.

Chen Ming looked at it carefully. The kitchen isn't huge, and the six electrically powered stoves make it impossible to cook stir-fries or anything like that. It can only be processed with some semi-finished products.

"The grain is stored here."

Li Siming walked to the middle of the aisle and pointed to the large space under the two rows of furnace mouths and said.

Although it doesn't look small, the three meals a day of the No. 75 people are consumed, and such a little space even seems a lot smaller.

Chen Ming silently recorded these situations in his heart, and then followed Li Siming into the next cabin.

"This is the front and auxiliary engine room. This is the diesel generator, and the ones on the side are the battery packs. That's the main converter unit, and there's a backup propulsion system. ”

Li Siming said as he pointed out the seats of each equipment to Chen Ming.

"The auxiliary engine room has two front and rear boats, and there is not much difference in equipment and function. The aft auxiliary compartment is just behind the reactor compartment, followed by the main engine compartment and the aft compartment. ”

"This is the duty room, Captain Lei Jun Lei should have seen it."

Several people exchanged pleasantries, and Li Siming continued.

"From now on, your place of work will be here in the duty room. The previous boat logs, material consumption records, etc. on the boat are all in the file bag in the drawer, with the name written on it, which is easy to find. There is also the official seal of our boat. I'll leave it all to you. ”

Lei Jun patted his seat and teased, "That's where my ass sits." Sailed out of my post in the war room. ”

Bidding farewell to Lei Jun, the two went all the way.

Inertial navigation room, living quarters, war room, conference room, torpedo compartment. Soon walked through one by one.

Many of the weapons that were originally seen on paper and recorded were completely different from what they were actually seen.

The armament of the 401 boat is not complicated. 6 533mm torpedo launchers, and launchers equipped with YJ-82 anti-ship missiles behind the command station.

"Why, aren't you going back to the shore for dinner?"

After visiting all the cabins, I also met a lot of crew members along the way. Chen Ming was introduced by Li Siming, and everyone said hello twice.

Visiting the cabin of an active submarine or a place where you will fight in the future is naturally not allowed to be sloppy. Along the way, Chen Ming benefited a lot from listening to Li Siming's guidance.

No wonder people often say that there is a treasure in the family.

Li Siming will not command a submarine like a captain, nor will he draw charts and determine the route like a navigator, nor can he control weapons like a water guide to make them hit accurately.

But in terms of familiarity with submarines, few people can compare with him. Except for the reactor compartment, a novelty that he did not understand, the rest.

What equipment does each cabin have, and what is the equipment used for? He knew exactly how many pipes and valves there were on the boat.

In this way, time flies.

"I'm not going, I'm going to stay and hurry up and go through the previous logbook. Otherwise, we wouldn't even know how much fuel we should prepare. ”

"Then you don't have any taboos, do you? I'll bring you food. ”

"Thanks, no need. I ate canned food at noon, just in time to experience the food I will eat later. ”

Chen Ming smiled and rejected Li Siming's kindness. He really wanted to try canned food, and since he was doing logistics, he had to experience it himself.

Li Siming shook his head and left helplessly. This young trainee platoon commander now looks very interested, and he doesn't know how many days he can resist if he really goes to sea.

Saying goodbye to Li Siming, Chen Ming walked to the kitchen. found that he couldn't even make this stove, so he reluctantly picked up a can of braised beef and returned to the duty room.

I walked over to the lodging pod and found my cup on the storage shelf. The beds and personal items have all been replaced with brand new and everyone's name attached.

It's just that the beds are shared, after all, when the submarine starts, each compartment must be left on duty. Moreover, there is no room for 75 beds in the boat.

After receiving the water, Chen Ming returned to the duty room and sat down. I opened the can and ate it.

Not much different from the army's cans. At this time, the country's economic conditions were limited, and there was no special development of voyage food. It's just that, in terms of taste, it's a little heavier and has more salt.

Military canned food is characterized by durability and solidity. In addition to the large pieces of beef, the canned food is full of thick butter.

And the average family, when they can eat meat once a week, can be regarded as a luxury. It can be seen from this that the leaders of the state and the base care and attach importance to the submariners. However, no matter how good the food is, you will get tired of eating too much.

Chen Ming devoured it while thinking about the way.

Chen Ming, who had already eaten halfway through, put the can aside and took out the boat logbook from the drawer.

The time quickly came into the evening.

Chen Ming basically read all the boat logbooks and material consumption in a year. Through the comparison of the sailing time and the consumption of materials. It's easy to figure out the approximate consumption.

The reason why I watched it for so long was because Chen Ming wanted to see the daily life of most submariners from the log. How they live underwater and what they think in their heads.

I had a little idea in my mind.

Together with Rao Xiaofeng, the newly acquainted water guide chief, and Tian Jun, the torpedo squad leader, he inspected the torpedoes and missiles in the boat. After confirming that it was complete, Chen Ming returned to the duty room and wrote the material application form according to the format and stamped it with the official seal of the 401 boat. After putting the documents in his jacket pocket and keeping them, he followed Li Siming to climb out of the submarine and return to the shore.

Agreeing to act together tomorrow, Chen Ming returned to the dormitory and lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

I woke up early the next morning and went out with the big army after the exercise. Chen Ming, under the leadership of Li Siming, found the logistics department of the submarine detachment.

After handing over the material application form to the cadres of the logistics department for review and approval, Chen Ming took the material delivery form and came to the warehouse of the submarine detachment.

Handing over the outbound order to a captain in charge of the warehouse, Chen Ming suddenly slapped his head.

I forgot to call some comrades-in-arms to help, so many supplies, only Chen Ming and the two of them can move to next week.

The captain of the warehouse waved his hand and interrupted Chen Ming's move of asking Li Siming to go back and call people in time. After a few words of command to the squad leader beside him, he said to Chen Ming.

"Don't worry, our shore guards will send you supplies. You've worked hard, and all you have to do is count the amount of supplies at the table at the door. Then just sign it. ”

The captain wondered why the boat was in charge of logistics by an inexperienced cadet. But he still politely pointed out Chen Ming.

"Thank you, thank you for your hard work." Chen Ming said gratefully.

"That's what we're supposed to do. You submariners are really hard, and we definitely can't pull you back in logistics. ”
